The Stieltjes coefficients $\gamma_k(a)$ arise in the expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about its single simple pole at $s=1$ and are of fundamental and long-standing importance in analytic number theory and other…
This paper is devoted to survey composition algebras and some of their applications. After overviewing the classical algebras of quaternions and octonions, both unital composition algebras (or Hurwitz algebras) and symmetric composition…
We consider a variant of the ring of components of Hurwitz spaces introduced by Ellenberg, Venkatesh and Westerland. By focusing on Hurwitz spaces classifying covers of the projective line, the resulting ring of components is commutative,…
In this paper, we discuss the properties of the generating functions of spin Hurwitz numbers. In particular, for spin Hurwitz numbers with arbitrary ramification profiles, we construct the weighed sums which are given by Orlov's…
Hurwitz theory provides a large variety of enumerative problems related to algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and combinatorics. We give a general framework to approach the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory using only…
Hurwitz numbers are a weighted count of degree d ramified covers of curves with specified ramification profiles at marked points on the codomain curve. Isomorphism classes of these covers can be included as a dense open set in a moduli…
We consider $d$-fold branched coverings of the projective plane $\mathbb{RP}^2$ and show that the hypergeometric tau function of the BKP hierarchy of Kac and van de Leur is the generating function for weighted sums of the related Hurwitz…
The functional relation of the Hurwitz zeta function is proved by using the connection problem of the confluent hypergeometric equation.
In this paper we develop a theory of Grothendieck's six operations for adic constructible sheaves on Artin stacks continuing the study of the finite coefficients case in math.AG/0512097.
Menger's basis property is a generalization of $\sigma$-compactness and admits an elegant combinatorial interpretation. We introduce a general combinatorial method to construct non $\sigma$-compact sets of reals with Menger's property.…
Hurwitz numbers count ramified genus $g$, degree $d$ coverings of the projective line with with fixed branch locus and fixed ramification data. Double Hurwitz numbers count such covers, where we fix two special profiles over $0$ and…
In this work we exploit Jonqui\`{e}re's formula relating the Hurwitz zeta function to a linear combination of polylogarithmic functions in order to evaluate the real and imaginary part of $\zeta_{H}(s,ia)$ and its first derivative with…
We compute the stable reduction of some Galois covers of the projective line branched at three points. These covers are constructed using Hurwitz spaces parameterizing metacyclic covers. The reduction is determined by a hypergeometric…
In this paper we announce some results obtained for certain algebraic functions, which we call of cyclotomic type. The main results properly resemble von Staudt-Clausen's theorem and Kummer's congruence for the Bernoulli numbers, and such…
We establish a series of indefinite integral formulae involving the Hurwitz zeta function and other elementary and special functions related to it, such as the Bernoulli polynomials, ln sin (\pi q), ln Gamma(q) and the polygamma functions.…
We use the relations between quadrics, trace codes and algebraic curves to construct algebraic curves over finite fields with many points and to compute generalized Hamming weights of codes.
Recently we have used the Carlitz exponential map to define a finitely generated submodule of the Carlitz module having the right properties to be a function field analogue of the group of units in a number field. Similarly, we constructed…
We provide a combinatorial description of the coefficients appearing in the expansion of Hall-Littlewood polynomials in terms of monomial symmetric functions. We also give a Littlewood-Richardson rule for Hall-Littlewood polynomials. For…
We define a new Hurwitz problem which is essentially a small core of the simple Hurwitz problem. The corresponding Hurwitz numbers have simpler formulae, satisfy effective recursion relations and determine the simple Hurwitz numbers. We…
